Police arrested one man Friday afternoon after a fake bomb threat was called into Trump Tower.

The threat made to the riverfront North Wabash Avenue tower was deemed "not bona fide" by police. Chicago police officers responded to a bomb threat at the hotel and residential tower around 1:22 p.m., but determined the incident was all clear. They took one man into custody.
